Black Excellence Legacy Hallway

Help me give my students HBCU pennants and black excellence decor for their hallway.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Niewald's classroom raised $989

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is a legacy school. Many of our students parents, grandparents, and, and great grandparents attended VHS. Alumni are proud of attending our historically black school. We were recently able to get our hallway painted.

We need hallway decor that reflects the black excellence of our students!

Our students are walking the same hallways as some of their ancestors and we want them to feel that pride. The HBCU banners, images of excellence, and inspirational quotes will change the entire vibe of our 11th and 12th grade hallway.

Ms. Niewald Vashon High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
